Odd Future Tour/Pop-Up Store – London 2012

A couple of the Dirt Cheap team spent the last week working at the Odd Future pop-up store in London – which coincided with the crews UK tour. It was a pretty crazy (tiring!) week working the shop in the day and partying with the band on a night.

Here’s a cool little video on Odd Future’s channel

Stefan Melbourne

Couple of great tracks to share with you from friend of Dirt Cheap Stefan Melbourne.

“With a whispering intensity for lyricism bound to simple yet robust musicality, Stefan Melbourne is already becoming a well-known name in the Manchester music scene. Drawing on the emotionally expressive sounds of Nick Drake and Tim Buckley, Melbourne is no stranger to urban poetry and lyrics of raw emotion, and has caught the limelight through his composite style that aligns itself with both indie-folk and country blues.

Tapping into a mature repertoire of seminal American folk musicians such as Lead Belly, Sonny Boy Williamson and Robert Johnson, his interesting blend of contemporary lyrics alongside a classic folk, almost bluegrass approach, sees Melbourne’s efforts fall comfortably on the ears of Bon Iver fans and Lamontagne followers alike.”
